The Birman is a breed of cats (wikipedia article). Mine is a Birman/European mix, I think, but she does have most of the Birmans' characteristics: blue eyes, the bi-color coat and the affectionate disposition.

Yes, they are. I've had her for a few years, but I can never get used to those stunning blue eyes. Can you believe she's actually a found cat? She showed up one day in my back yard, emaciated and scared. She also looked like she had recently had kittens. Obviously someone had abandoned her. I tempted her with a little food and she's been with me ever since.
